There is an amusing legend about the origin of Chinese zodiac. The Jade Emperor wanted to select 12 animals to be his palace guards. He wanted the Ox 🐂 to be the first for its honesty and diligence, but surprisingly, the smart Rat 🐀 covertly hid on the Ox's back and occupied the first place at the essential moment.
The Tiger 🐅 was crowned next as the King of the Forest and then the Dragon 🐉 as the Lord of the Sea. However, the Rabbit 🐇 won a race against the Dragon and gained the No. 4 spot. The Snake 🐍, Horse 🐎, Sheep 🐑, Monkey 🐒, and Rooster 🐓 all followed. The Dog 🐕 was punished to be the last one for biting the Rabbit; but ultimately the Dog became the 11th. The 12th sign was the one animal tardy to the party, the Pig 🐖, who finally took the last place.
